Ian Brown & Christopher T. Marsden: Regulating Code: Good governance and better regulation in the information Age. - Free Online Library: "Regulating code is a solid and well researched textbook that will appeal to experts and practitioners, who will enjoy the authors' incisive and thorough coverage of the field. It is well written and gives an honest and impartial (one could call it a politically correct) coverage of the current internet debate. It is highly interdisciplinary and well written in its analysis of the different legal, technical and economic arguments. It's a must read for educated professionals from diverse disciplines who seek to master the information sciences domain, since the book offers a one-stop background and accurate context covering practically all the hot regulatory topics, from privacy & data protection, to copyright, social media censorship to net neutrality, stretching to cybersecurity and broadband innovation. The historical references and current bibliography are truly impressive. In fact the lengthy bibliography is so complete that the expert reader will not be disappointed unless their own magnum opus were accidentally not to have been listed there." 'via Blog this'
